Today, as I was working on the latest product for my partnership in Mactank.com, listening to the Venture Blog podcast with Jason Fried of 37 Signals, a chill ran down my spine.

Jason mentioned that 37 Signals would be releasing a CRM product and a tool to help people communicate easier online.

My mind began racing, since I have 3 products on the drawing board for ‘06, one of which may intersect with either of their forthcoming services.

At lunch, my wife asked why I was so distracted, and all I recall is mumbling something about no sleep until 2007.

But seriously, I just wanted to jot down some vague descriptions of these projects, in an effort to avoid being branded an also-ran or copy cat.

So here goes:

• Spontaneous soda packs
• Social tagged service clock
• Blog sailing

Those descriptions are cryptic for a reason, but when the projects are complete, they will make sense.

In the meantime, I look forward to seeing what the trail blazer’s at 37 signals come up with.
